When it comes to appearance, neither is necessarily better, as it comes down to your personal preference. A dry stacked Natural Stone retaining wall is one that would fit better in a garden scenario. It looks more like a natural structure and can blend in with the backdrop more easily. On the other hand, the manufactured Segmental Wall Stones provide a more sleek and modern look with geometric patterns and blended colors. The decision of which wall to use will heavily be influenced by what function needs to be accomplished. Both types of walls retain soil and assist in an elevation change, but Segmental retaining walls are able to be used in larger walls than the Natural Stones.
